LJ Solo Skiff Landing (in small surf)

Hey, Jorge here is a video I posted in on page 9 of this thread of a LJ landing. The surf was small much like yesterday so it doesn't show all the benefits of being able to come in with the power of the motor. When surf is small, you actually need to make sure not to gun the engine too hard, because like on this video you end up almost on the sand and I like to turn the Solo Skiff around to face the surf so as not to get it turned sideways by rest of the incoming surf. I prefer pulling the safety cord to shut the engine and pull it up while still in 2 1/2' of water, slide off and grab the bow handle to allow the following breaker to turn the Solo around before pulling it up further on the sand.
